Monday's Sound Off

Those warning us about Obamacare were right. In just three years, the CBO projected cost to the taxpayer has doubled to 1.8 trillion over 10 years. The middle class and our young are seeing dramatic increases in insurance cost. Social Security numbers are being tossed around without any regard for security and so-called Obamacare navigators have not been vetted for criminal histories.

We were at the football game at Boyertown-Pottstown recently. All night long the kids were running up and down the bleachers. I did not see any of the security people up in the bleachers at all. Also, when the game was over, they did not escort the football team to their buses which I thought was terrible, and there was no traffic control.

A GREAT FOOTBALL FAN

When is a pie not a pie? A pumpkin custard made with cooked orange pumpkin. A pumpkin pie is made of raw, thinly diced white and green neck pumpkin, has lots of spices, a bottom and top pie dough.

In reference to the comment about the seniors paying school and property taxes, I agree on that. We are seniors too, in our 80s, and I think it’s very unfair that we seniors have to pay taxes. We put our children and grandchildren through school so I think it shouldn’t be us paying school taxes.

Yellow containers are springing up all over by Planet Aid. According to a USA Today article, this is a for-profit-only company. The bulk of the recyclable clothes are bundled and sold for profit and are shipped overseas where they are made into rags or reprocessed as furniture padding or insulation materials for housing. Take your much needed clothes and shoes to either The Salvation Army or the Cluster and the help stays in Pottstown.

BE INFORMED

There is a shrew in the capitol shrieking “The blood of immigrants runs through all our veins.” True Nancy dear, but it is not true that the blood flowing through our veins is the blood of these illegals, which makes them felons, breaking down our borders and often in a lot of rage rallying that our immigration system is broken.

DUH

The police have a dangerous and difficult job, I get that. But the police in this country in incident after incident are out-of-control. Just watch the news. Something has to be done. We should not have to fear the police. Better training and oversight could help.

Now that the cold weather and holidays are upon us, we need some donations of greeting cards, envelopes, stickers, stampers, etc. They do not need to match. We need to continue our ministry for the homeless and the veterans. Please call 610-705-8798 and leave a message.

GOD BLESS AMERICA

Can’t these Democrats who call in see what is happening in this country? The government wants to have all the information on you. They will know everything about you and they’ll control your life before you know it.

This is for the Congress people who did not support our soldiers when they passed away, death benefits to the families. Shame on you Congress, you make me sick. This is disgraceful. I’ll remember this at voting time. God bless our soldiers.

I’m just wondering if America is ever going to get back on track. I really feel sorry for the next generation. Hopefully all this petty stuff, bickering back-and-forth, will get solved. We all bleed red and therefore we should all work together to make this America again.

A PATRON

The president did not shut down the government. Only the House of Representatives has the power to shut down the government. Debate over.

LARRY FROM ROFO

This is to the Democratic dude who called me a terrorist because I’m a Republican. I resent that. I am an honorable vet. I resent Democrats blaming everything on the Republicans when we have a president who won’t negotiate. So it’s my way or the highway president? I’m sorry sir but it doesn’t work that way dude. Call me a terrorist to my face and we’ll see where you get.

PO’D VET

Roses to Democrats and Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives who would not allow President Obama to deny death benefits to our fallen military. Yet another example of what our community organizer and chief does well — inflicting unnecessary pain on those he has a low regard for.

Did George Washington spend the winter at Valley Forge Park so that 237 years later a group of imposters could make a mockery of the government he fought to create, closing the park he fought for? Let’s take our government back, one national park at a time. Let’s start at Valley Forge. Remember, they are our servants, not our masters.
